Full description

Red Light Secrets Museum sits in De Wallen, a few minutes' walk from Centraal Station, and examines the history and working life of Amsterdam's sex-work industry. Visitors use a themed audio tour and scan their ticket's QR code to unlock the interactive exhibits, which reviewers describe as entertaining and among the city's best interactive museums.

Opening hours run late into the night, so it pairs naturally with an evening walk through the canal-side streets nearby. Booking ahead is recommended and a visit lasts about an hour.

Reviews

It's an interesting museum to attend if you have nothing else to do after 9pm and all the other museums are closed. You can walk through it very quick as it is a very small museum. Even with reading every single sign and info in each room it took me only 40mins. So I found it a bit overpriced for what it is really.…
